The classic dinner roll we all remember from Sunday or holiday dinners.

Scald milk (heat until just bubbling around edges – may
be done in microwave). Stir in unsalted butter, sugar,
and salt. Let cool until just warm (105-110°F [40-45°C]).

with a pinch of the flour. Insert the dough hook and
press Fold 2 to 3 times to mix. Let stand until foamy,
about 5 minutes. Add the cooled milk mixture, eggs
and 7½ cups (1.9 L) of the flour on speed 2. Mix on
speed 2 for 2 minutes. Continuing on speed 2, add the
remaining flour one tablespoon (15 ml) at a time until a
loose dough ball forms that clings to the dough hook
and cleans the sides of the bowl. Set the timer for 4
minutes and the speed to 3 to allow the dough to
knead. Transfer to a medium-large bowl and cover with
plastic wrap (may also be put into a 1-gallon (3.6 L)
resealable food storage bag). Place in a warm, draft-free
place and let rise until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter two
10-inch (25 cm) round baking pans. Punch dough to
deflate. Divide the dough into 32 equal pieces (each
about 2¼ ounces [65 g]). Roll into balls and arrange in
the prepared pans. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise
until about doubled, about 30 to 40 minutes. Combine
the remaining milk and butter, and heat until butter is
melted. Just before baking, gently brush rolls with
melted butter and milk. Bake in preheated 375°F
(190°C) oven until golden brown, about 28 to 35
minutes (internal temperature of rolls will be 205°F
(96°C) when tested with an instant-read thermometer).
Remove from pans and let cool on a wire rack for about
10 minutes before serving. For softer Buttery Dinner
Rolls, brush each with melted butter just after removing
from oven.

and stir to blend. Let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy. In
a medium bowl, combine 5½ cups (1.4 L) of the flour
with the salt. Reserve the additional 1 cup (250 ml) of
flour.
Insert the dough hook. Add the olive oil and the 5 cup
(1.25 L) flour and salt mixture to the yeast mixture. Mix
on speed 2 for 2 minutes. Continuing on speed 2, add
the remaining flour one tablespoon (15 ml) at a time
until a dough ball forms that clings to the dough hook
and cleans the sides of the bowl. Set the timer for
4 minutes and the speed to 3 to allow the dough to
knead. Transfer the dough to a large bowl that has
been lightly coated with olive oil. Turn to coat and
cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm,
draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Punch dough to deflate and let rest for 10 minutes. If
time permits, allow dough to rise a second time for a
more developed flavour and texture. Use for your
favourite pizza, focaccia or calzones.
Dough can be made a day ahead. Place in a resealable
bag and refrigerate. When ready to prepare, punch
down dough and allow it to come to room temperature
before continuing.
